Before...and After

A dry day for a change (although rain is forecast overnight) so we spent it in the garden doing some much needed tidying up (a lot more is still needed though!). My main job was trimming this rather long privet hedge. I like to do it with manual shears as it's good exercise and excellent physio for the shoulder I hurt a year past December - it's much better but still niggles a bit and my physio said I should use it as much as I can.

The hedge is quite wide so I can't quite reach to the other side: my neighbour will finish it off in due course. When he heard me with the shears he apologised - apparently his wife had just said to him that he should do the trimming before I do it first yet again!
